I knew Arnie for almost all of his married life with my sister Cathy. He was a wonderful man and a dear friend. After my own brother died, Arnie, my brother-in-law, was the only brother I had. I had a good conversation with him not long before he passed away. I treasure that and other memories of him. -- Gerald (Jerry) Schneider, Somerville, MA.
